Description & Technical information
William Collins supplied a very similar lantern, also with the distinctive foliate glazing bars and crestings, to Burton Constable Hall in Yorkshire, England, where a bill from 1832 for £60 survives. An almost identical model is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The lantern has a Regency replaced glass smoke cowl. The pendent light fitting is modern and is fitted for electricity.
